National Technical Museum
Museo Técnico Nacional
National Technical Museum (Kostelní 42, Letná, Prague 1) — opened in 1908, this museum has extensive collections covering many technical fields, the natural and exact sciences, and of industry in the territory of today’s Czech Republic. You can view the most interesting and, in many cases, rare and unique exhibits of its collections in the Museum’s permanent and shorter-term exhibits (the most eye-catching one are those involving cars, airplanes and trains). Those interested in a more thorough knowledge of the history of technology and its broader contexts have the vast library and archive of the history of technology and industry at their disposal.
